5. Process Oriented Storage Control

Inbound or Outbound process which undergoes multiple process steps from one stage to another
is termed as POSC
POSC is primarily used to make complex type of putaways or picking.
POSC only works with Handling Units, so it is required to pack the product once they arrive in
warehouse or it should automatically create HU when receive in warehouse.
Once product is received in warehouse, it is subject to below process steps for Put-away
Unload
Count
Deconsolidation
Quality inspection
Value Added Services (VAS)
Packing
Outbound process (Stock removal) steps include Picking, Packing, VAS, Staging, and Loading.
